known only from a single collecting event (Table 1). The species is so far endemic to the Maputaland-Pondoland-Albany biodiversity hotspot. Adults are probably summer active, being collected in January in what is a summer rainfall region (Table 2). The collection site was almost certainly in an open grassland area, but along a dry river bed where scattered thorn trees grow. There is little doubt that the species, like others in the genus, rests on open sand.
